ARRIS Introduces Rapid Launch Hot Zone System(TM)

Wireless solution deploys in a day and pays back in as few as three months

SUWANEE, Ga., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) today
announced the introduction of a centrally-managed Wi-Fi hot zone system that
can be deployed quickly with payback on investment in as few as three months.
Named Rapid Launch Hot Zone System(TM), this solution allows MSOs to grow
commercial market share by offering managed indoor and outdoor hot zone
services to businesses, and reduce churn by offering subscribers mobile
accessibility to their MSO-branded high speed data services.

The Rapid Launch Hot Zone System is an integration of technology and
components from three companies: ARRIS Solutions, BelAir Networks, and
SolutionInc Limited. The base configuration is anchored by a CableLabs(R)
DOCSIS(R) 2.0 qualified ARRIS C3 CMTS, however, additional C3 devices are not
required if the service provider has ample, existing CMTS capacity. An
Enterprise Hot Spot Management System from SolutionInc Limited provides
centrally managed hot spot connectivity, authentication, billing and messaging
capabilities; and Wireless Access Points from BelAir Networks provide Wi-Fi
access coverage as stand-alone or networked devices. This base configuration
can accommodate up to 2,500 simultaneous users, 16 SSID (Service Set
identifier), and 8 virtual access points with individual service level
configurability. The system allows virtually unlimited scalability by adding
radios, enterprise servers, and CMTS capacity.

"Wi-Fi continues to grow worldwide, from coffee houses to college campuses and
RV parks," said Tom Williams, Vice President Marketing & Business Development
for ARRIS. "Our hot zone system enables technology from three great companies
to help our customers rapidly increase revenue and decrease churn. We call it
'Wi-Fi Made Simple' because once venues are determined, our customers can
literally be operational in a few hours."

Rapid Launch provides MSOs with robust capabilities including centralized
management that enables operators to manage and bill numerous commercial
customers, who may have hundreds or thousands of end users. It integrates
with third party billing systems, and can accommodate multiple pay-per-use
options including credit cards, email accounts, and access codes.

The system enables location-specific services which can consist of one venue
or a group of venues under one account. Venues can be managed individually
for billing, authentication, bandwidth, messaging, and marketing. Tiered
bandwidth service offerings give MSOs the ability to charge premium rates for
faster connections, and enhanced marketing features enable providers or their
business customers to push specific marketing and advertising content on
customized "welcome" and "registration" pages based on their locations.

"The patented technology we bring to the Rapid Launch System provides MSOs
with an incredible amount of flexibility to fully manage numerous independent
hot zones and thousands of users on one platform," said Natalie Doyle
Oldfield, Chief Marketing Officer of SolutionInc Limited. "We have one of the
most robust and reliable IP provisioning platform available today, and we're
confident MSOs will find the engine remarkably easy to set up and manage."

Wireless Access Points can be pole or strand mounted anywhere MSO plant
exists, making this an ideal solution for public area and municipal hotspots.
MSOs can also offer managed hot spot solutions to businesses with singular or
multiple locations. These hot zones can be branded by the MSO, or by the
business using the service. Both MSO and business branded services coexist
within the Rapid Launch System without disrupting basic consumer high-speed
data traffic running on the network.

"BelAir Networks and ARRIS have been affiliated in bringing full featured,
high capacity wireless solutions to MSOs for several years," said Dave Park,
VP Product Marketing for BelAir Networks. "Our broadband wireless technology
is perfect for the Rapid Launch Hot Zone System because it can scale with
ARRIS CMTS devices and the SolutionInc Enterprise Management System to
accommodate a virtually unlimited number of users."

The global hot spot market continues to provide opportunities for MSOs.
According to the iPass Broadband Mobility Index, hot spots in Europe grew by
89% H1 2008 over H1 2007, while North America hot spots grew by 17% during the
same period. Business Wi-Fi use in hotels grew by 66% , public Wi-Fi usage
more than tripled, Wi-Fi usage in restaurants more than doubled, and locations
used by commuters grew by nearly 80%. Hot zone traffic growth is driven, in
part, by the rapid deployment of Wi-Fi enabled subscriber devices. According
to Allied Business Intelligence (ABI), Shipments of Wi-Fi-enabled cellular
handsets will double in volume by the end of 2010, compared to January 2008,
and that growth curve is expected to continue through 2013. InStat has
estimated that Portable Media Players shipped with Wi-Fi will grow to well
over 100 million units in 2011 and cellular/Wi-Fi handsets will pass 300
million units by 2012.

ARRIS will demonstrate the Rapid Launch Hot Zone System in its booth #1121 at
The Cable Show '09.
